Whelp - now I'm unhinged. (eyeroll)
Me:
In your last statement you pretty much said I shouldn't use the bathroom because I am a threat to children. That all transgender and intersex people are a threat to children. So, I go into the men's restroom, I'm a threat to boys. If I go into the women's restroom I'm a threat to girls. You are equating gender identity with sexual deviance. Thank you for the insult. Love it. I will continue to add that to the list of falsehoods with which I have been accused. You do realize most child abusers are "cisgender-heterosexual" individuals like, right? So yeah, you inferred im a pedophile and included many people I know. What ever happened to innocent until proven guilty? Yes, I'm angry. My catholic hospital/institution has no problems with me being transgender. My church doesn't either. As a matter of fact, I enjoyed Sunday school last week and was answering questions. I'm part of the woman's group. I respect them as they respect me. Every single member of my immediate family respects me. Seems to me the people who don't, have no clue who I am or what I do. I'm not sure how you are going to respond part of me doesn't want you to. I have a friend who just reached out this morning stating they've had enough and threatening suicide. Now excuse me while I tend to the weak, the cast out and downtrodden.

I find it interesting that you inferred all of that when I was speaking more to our differing views on free speech. I barely mentioned trans issues except for the bathroom thing only because you had mentioned it. I should have been a little more clear. It is about the perception of safety to the biological women and girls that use that facility as well. Me? I don’t really care, it’s not a moral issue to me. When I was in Europe years ago if a bathroom was being cleaned, everyone just used the other one. I apologize for saying something that somehow equated to all those other things to you but that is not what it meant.
Me:
You just did it again! The "perceived" safety issue. I am a safety issue. Seriously!
Me:
I am not a biologic woman. I'm intersex.
Them:
I understand that but there have already been cases of men preying on woman under the trans label. You are not the problem!
Me:
So we make laws to affect all of us? A blanket statement?
Them:
That is up to the people not me.
Me:
So, I'm not the problem and yet, if I go into any government facility bathroom in FL, I can be charged with trespass and put in jail for several years because I'm a perceived threat. Imagine my excitement (/sarcasm)
Them:
I don’t quite know what to say. You seem like a wonderful person and a threat to no one, I assume unless you choose to be. Personally, I’m rather shocked and disappointed with your responses today. I’m going to use a word you won’t like but the way you attacked me at the beginning of this conversation was uncalled for and unhinged even. You cannot assume everyone who disagrees with you is personally attacking you. Cognitive dissonance is an ok thing. I learned a lot from you that has helped me be more compassionate towards trans-folk but I refuse to be verbally bullied into an extreme position. So, have a great night and I will leave you alone for a while or more.
